(Annabeth's POV)
After Percy helped me with Jim, I couldn't keep my eyes off him. He was very handsome, high cheeks bones, the perfect body, dreamy eyes.I could have easily taken Jim down, it's just that he caught me by surprise. I was lucky Percy was there.
"So Annabeth, why is that guy….Jim." Percy said the name in disgust. "Trying to hit it off with you?" I looked down.
"He likes me, but I don't like him. He keeps trying to be my boyfriend, but I don't want to be in a relationship with that pig." I answered.
"Why don't you have a boyfriend?" Percy asked.
"I don't know. I'm just waiting for the right one." I said looking away. Why was I telling him all of this? It's none of his business! We just met! But when I looked back into his sea green eyes a wave of trust, and loyalty overwhelmed me.
"Oh well, wo-" Percy started to say but was interrupted by the bell. "Better be getting to class." He said instead. I looked down disappointed. I wanted to know what he was going to say.
"Do you know where your going?" I asked. He nodded uncertain, and began walking away.I watched him go, then remembered I have the same classes as him. I cursed myself for forgetting that and began running back to Percy. But stopped when I saw him and Rachel talking.
"-show you around the school." Rachel was saying. Percy smiled, "It's okay, someone else is already." Percy declined. Inside I felt kind of happy, but felt guilty afterward.
Rachel's smile wavered, then she regained her composure. "Okay. Talk to you later." Rachel said before bounding off. I felt a little betrayed, I told Rachel someone like Percy was my dream guy and she over there making a move on him. I'm going to have a little talk with Rachel Elizabeth Dare. I found her talking to Thalia, and Piper. They waved at me, but frowned when they saw my angry expression.
"Rachel!" I said angrily, Rachel turned to me and smiled. "Hey Annabeth." she said innocently.
"Why are you trying to make a move on Percy?" I demanded,Thalia and Piper looked at Rachel shocked.
"What? Now it's against the rule for talking with a guy." Rachel replied angry.
"You know what I mean." I snarled.
"No I don't." Rachel sneered. "You don't like him do you? He's just one of those guys that you reject right?" I stopped and thought for a moment. Do I like Percy? I only met him this morning. You can't like someone that fast…..can you? When I didn't answer, Rachel smirked.
"That's what I thought." she said walking away. I glared at her back.
"Did I miss something?" asked Thalia.
"Rachel was flirting with Percy." I said angrily.
"And the problem is…" Thalia asked, Piper rolled her eyes.
"Isn't it obvious? Annabeth likes Percy." Piper said. Thalia looked at me in shock for a moment, then smirked.
"I knew you liked him." she smiled, I blushed from embarrassment.
"Okay maybe a little." I admitted. Piper squealed.
"Tomorrow we are going to see my mom. She great when it comes to relationships, fashion, and shopping." Piper said. I was about to decline, but Piper wouldn't take no as an answer. So I nodded bluntly.
"Now come on, we got to get to class." Thalia pulled me and Piper behind her.
(Percy POV)
I finished talking to a red head named Rachel, she was pretty with her frizzy red hair and vibrant green eyes. But then there's also Annabeth. But Annabeth declines every boy who asks her out. How am I any different? Then Rachel, yeah she's cute. But Annabeth is beautiful, smart, funny, kind. Love is complicated. I was heading to P.E. Our P.E coach, Coach Ares, along with his assistance Coach hedge had us change into our gym clothes and run 5 laps around the football field. As I was running, 6 people caught up to me.
"Hi, you're the new kid..Percy Jackson." a guy with blonde hair said, I nodded. "Cool, names Jason Grace." he introduced. He pointed to his group.
"That's Leo Valdez, Frank Zhang, Travis and Connor Stoll, and Triton Poseidon's son." I waved to his friends. They waved back beside Triton, who merely glared at me.
"We saw how you stood up to Jim." said Frank.
"That was pretty epic." added Leo.
"We wanted to know if you wanted to hang out with us." said the Stoll brothers. New friends?…
"Okay." I accepted.I have 6 new friends, I know 2 hot girls, I beat up an egotistic guy…all in all this is the best 1st day of school I've ever had.
